CHECK OUT MY TOP RATED HAND HATCHETS HERE!! goo.gl/bnUKIJ goo.gl/0qrHSZ
DON'T FORGET TO CLICK THE THUMBS UP!
Wranglerstar if you had the time do you think you could properly heat treat and make handle for the fiscars
you can replace that plastic handle with a wooden one,stone age axes heads did not have a hole in them
i was thinking he could heat up the head if he would try to heat treat it correctly and put an eye in thete then
You've channeled you're inner Nutnfancy here, nicely done.
Let me try:
For 1st kind of cool, they're both great.
For 2nd kind of cool, this is a home run for Gransfors Bruk.
lol Jerome, he should go out to the desert and beat rocks with them.
I'm really impressed with the seamless editing where he cut out the part of him crying after dropping the GB on the rail
lmaoo
When was that?
@@JoJo_fan-wc2ku r/whoosh
I am retarded.
@@JoJo_fan-wc2ku XD
So what did i learn:
1. $20 axe is pretty much equal to a $120 axe, the differences definitely don't justify the price gap.
2. you can shave with axes.
3. axes are not very good at chopping huge metal blocks.
Thanks wrangler!
Right, axes mean for woods, not taking out on the rail track.
the 20$ ax causes cancer in California lol.
I guarantee that cheap axe isn't near as sharp out of the box.
@@richardmiller9698 he said he sharpened them...
Richard Miller my fiskars I bought was really sharp when I bought
I think the Fiskars is a better axe all things concidered. Of course a $150 hatchet will outlast a single $25 hatchet but its alot less likely to outlast six of those $25 hatchets. Also, if you are anything like me, you would baby $150 one and use the hell out of the $25 one so at the end of the day the cheap tool will serve me better.
Valid point
Hah toilet paper ^^^^ also, yeah, i dont have 120 bucks laying around, and, from what ive heard of fiskars, they dont really tend to break or dull. Even if they do, id be happy to re sharpen them.
Don't forget the lifetime warranty.
I wouldn't really baby the $150 one, just use it intelligently and don't hit metal objects with it repeatedly, especially really dense metals or stone.
I totally agree, especially with the last part
Wranglerstar: hates fiskars
Also Wranglerstar: owns everything fiskars ever made for video purposes
Also every Fiskars tool shows a lot of wear so he clearly uses them regularly.
He only hates them because the handle is plastic and un curved
@@maxwelljeremy5659 could be from viewers!
"Let's see here, first off, this one is made for someone with little hands, this would be good for a child." 😂 shots fired Fiskars.
He said in the video Fiskars, but the axe has Gerber on it? I am confused
Gränsfors was founded in 1902, Fiskars in 1649. Just sayin'
@@kingoffoxez they also started making forged and castiron products in 1649. they been making axes sinse 1649 older axes got Billnäs stamp in them
@@HENRIKOIVUROVA Actually, Billnäs was it's own company, founded in 1641 and acquired by Fiskars in 1957, though Fiskars owned the majority of Billnäs' shares from 1920 onwards. Billnäs ironworks originated just 10km from where Fiskars ironworks originated from.
I don't know when Fiskars actually started producing hatchets/axes. Maybe only after acquiring Billnäs and sold them under the Billnäs brand.
Fiskars did produce nails, wires, hoes, knives, pans and pots from the beginning though. And by the mid 19th century they also produced forks, scissors and all kinds of agricultural tools like plows.
H Koivu bilnas is finish, yes? I'd like a Bilnas
Nothing beats the feeling of the nice wooden handle on most manual hand tools.
That includes brooms too.
Good hard wood
Just based on price and availability, I have a selection of different Fiskars axes and hatchets that serve me quite well. Never thought I'd see the day you even remotely praised a Fiskars. Good to keep it real. Take care.
My fiskars can take a beaten from hell. My GFB was destroyed by a 4 inch hickory in NC. It was winter if that makes fans feel better. Lol.
Hateful fiskars
12:20 "im trying to be biased but it wont let me" XD
A long time ago my dad explained to me a way to check a blade for sharpness. He pointed out that the edge is the intersection of two planes, forming a line which has no width. Therefore you can hold the tool up to a light so it's reflecting off of the edge and look for a reflection. A sharp edge won't reflect light, and dull points, being flat surfaces, will reflect light.
I can confirm that this work very well to check for chips and dull spots. Lights up like stars in a dark night. I have not found it useful for judging the level of sharpness though. I deem my tools too dull before I can see any visible damage. Cutting stuff really is the ultimate test.
@neistridlar, I can see where the degrees of sharpness might be more than this simple test can identify. Though I should admit that I usually call an edge dull when it struggles cutting through warm butter. I've yet to develop the patience to get an edge truly sharp. I think I worry too much about getting the "right" angle. Yet another thing my Pop was good at. Happy chopping!
Subject to the capabilities of ones eyes.
I've heard the same thing.
Sounds like what the old feller from “An axe to grind” says.
You get quite a bit of bang for your buck with a fiskars axe. I've been using them here north of the 60th parallel in Northwest Canada. It's not uncommon for us to be chopping wood in -40 c/f. For those of you wondering the composite handle will not crack in the extreme cold temperatures as seen my videos. Great video wranglerstar!
UPNORTHOF60 I was scared for nothing when I moved here and wondered if my Fiskars would all break.
Tough axes for sure!
UPNORTHOF60 I'm a simple man. I see the words axe, wood, videos and I subscribe
Thanks for subscribing!
UPNORTHOF60 i am a Fin and a beast in chopping wood. it Is absolutely the best way of relaxation. you hit and immediately you see the results. ive tried many axes in many weathers but so far the best for chopping are the bigger size Fiskars axes. this hatchet thing i find of no use really, but it might just be my problem. keep up the good work guys!
As a corrosion technologist and a hobby farmer, I love your videos! Please keep making them as you have. I know you're not intending these as "scientific" but believe it or not they are more so than you give them credit for. I love the fact that you observe, preform an experiment in a controlled environment and then record the results. This is valuable information! The unbiased view of the subject matter you are presenting is a nice reprieve from more biased opinions in commercial advertisements.
What a funny one
Finland vs. Sweden is always a classic...
RBAirsoft.
And Sweden wins.
tom eng 6-1 you are wrong
A drunken Finn on a crowded bus is known as a Laplander.
tom eng Actually it did not. Did you even watch the video? Finland all day especially for price.
All axes produced at Gränsfors Use are HANDMADE. All chords are removed and the smith can thus spend more time slipping a good ax, resulting in no unnecessary afterworking needed. Post work that is usually done to hide deficiencies in the smith. There is something that separates Gränsfors Bruks axes from industrial axes (Fiskars). At the Gränsfors Bridge, the forging crafts can take its time.
120 $ is cheap for what you get.
Samtliga yxor som produceras vid Gränsfors Bruk är handsmidda. Alla ackord är borttagna och smeden kan därigenom lägga mer tid på att smida en bra yxa, vilket resulterar i att inget onödigt efterarbete behövs. Efterarbete som annars vanligtvis görs för att dölja brister i själva smidet. Det är något som skiljer Gränsfors Bruks yxor från industritillverkade yxor ( Fiskars ). På Gränsfors Bruk får smideshantverket ta sin tid.
I literally cringed when you dropped the Gransfors on the rail.
My 4 y/o nephew was scared. He asked me why I was sad.
Moran Tactical I shivered.
i had to skip haha
I couldn't watch it either. So against everything I've ever been told.
"I see a depression"
Damn right you do Cody, your whole subscriber base got depressed when you dropped the GB on the rail
Probably a microagression but so is your post. Microagressions for everyone!
As the recipient of some shoddy tools as an inheritance, I have to say what makes them 'heirloom quality' was the knowledge of the man who used them and the memories, not the original list price.
right, it is those wear & tear used by that person that is most valuable!
Finally he came over to the Fiskar's side, good, goooood. Feel the POWER!!! Ahahah.
"We had some physics going on there..." As a Welding Engineer/Metallurgist this was a great video and the best statement from a non engineer I have ever heard! Love you and your videos Cody!
Cool axes ))))-obviously hand hatches are for chopping hand off...
yeah, what else...? and for shaving your arm a little bit
@Anoneemus Noename you shoulda stopped while you were ahead... but i gotta HAND it to you, that first one was pretty funny.
@@user-mx7ef6mo8q there is only one right way to settle this: arm wrestling
I cant HANDLE AXEIDENTS !
P0p0ppppppl
Love the size.
thats what she said
its about hatchets not subs
@Nut
The Mad Hatter.
Thanks as always for the honesty !
Awesome review. I think you pretty much covered EVERYTHING. Very useful thanks.
The metal on metal was hard to watch, I literally was on the edge of my seat as you dropped it. I have personally wondered this for awhile now, thank you for another great video and. And another big think you for reminding me to turn the notifications on for your channel from the last video. I know it used to be on but didn't realize it was no longer on.
I have a Gerber/Fiskars in the car, a Mora in the pack and traditional axes in the workshop
Excellent review, thank you sir
Had years of use from my Gerber/Fiskers. Never let me down and always a very sharp edge. Much more value for the money.
Small hatchets are maybe the most dangerous hand tool. The arc of flight so easily curves toward the 2nd hand, or knees. I think a bit longer handle is actually safer, especially for youngsters.
You are correct!
I wrap my Fiskars in Paracord as well. help cushion vibes even more if your hands can't take it. good stuff!
Thanks! Good info.Enjoyed your presentation.
Thank you for your honesty
This is exactly the kind of videos I've been missing!!
Cody, fire up the forge and make the best ax you can. I would love to see the result.
I'm new to axes and this review was really illustrative. Very good job!
This was very informative. I like these “Professor Wrangle Star” formats.
I really like your videos and I am really inspired by your videos
Missing info: The FISCARS is a sandwich made from two different types of steel. And it comes with a belt sheath.
This video was a long time coming. Thank you Wranglestar for sharing. I almost had to turn away when you dropped that beautiful hatchet on that rail. I can here my father yelling at me in my memory's about tool misuse!
Loved every bit of this video! And the rest of the series!
Always love a good axe video. I'm a Gran Fors Bruks man. Can't beat their quality!
M M For the price you can, with the Fiskars.
Agreed. Also taking esthetics in consideration. The Gransfors just looks better.
Thank you for the explaination of the titled of your videos, I feel a bit ashamed that I commented about them. I mean if I'm a loyal subscriber I watch your videos anyways so why care about the title. Not a big deal any more.
sharpfrumentarii right lol, I can't believe all the people who, even still, cannot see past a simple title...blows my mind...I'm glad to hear you do not judge upon his title anymore, good for you...I went on a whole rant the last video on the people who still whine and complain about it lol
GPG Studios so you're saying a person's integrity isn't important. To me it's everything. I believe Cody misunderstands what he's doing because I do believe he is a man of integrity. He's got a blind spot.
sharpfrumentarii wrangler star has condredicted himself hes been click baiting for almost a year now and any time he was called on it he made a response video. his responses were "i clickbait because I find it funny" or "I like sturing the pot and laughing at the haters," but yesterday his attitude changed he said it was because his channel was dieing and blamed youtubes new algorithm as his reasons why he started click baiting. so which is the truth is he a victim or does he find click bait and ticking of haters funny because to me it seems he found a scape goat and is turning it around to get sympathy from his viewers by blaming youtubes new algorithm.
They both work very well. Nice testing!
Hey, Cody. thanks for your honesty in all your videos. that's a big quality that's kept me here.
Out of curiosity i broke my fiskars x7. Took one hour filing away that fiberblastic. You can replace the handle in the field. You rehandle it like you would replace a handle to a stone axe.
@@brain4154 yes
6:01 You made a huge scratch there when you slipped.
Thanks for the reviews!
A small silent tear ran down my face when the Gransfors hit the rail! I appreciate the test Cody but I'm not trying that one with my Gransfors SFA! G'day from down under love your channel!
Hateful Fiskars...thankful no FreshP's were harmed in making this video.
Good one Bro, wish I'd thought of that. LOL
Feels like the testing on the show "forged in fire"
Always informative, always honest. cheers for another excellent video mate.
Thank you for the comparison it was really helpful.
You dropped the fiskars hire
Zayden Tapp And it still survived better.
He actually chips the blade of the gransfors bruks at 5:57. if you look closely before and after he uses the punch a pretty noticeable chip in the blade.
Alexis.....play despacito
@@thescumofhumanity nice name
Thanks for the vid Cody
Awesome video. I always learn so much.
The Fiskars for me please!
with the $125 I will get a Hultafors classic hunting axe and a well made survival knife.
cheers
Blazin'Blades
you sold me on the versatility on the $25 hatch. lol.
Great video Cody. Thanks for sharing.
Such a great video really enjoyed everything you did!! Keep them up
As a Finn it hurts my soul to admit that the Gränsfors is super cool :)
It doesn't hurt my soul to tell you Fiskars/Gerber axes are garbage
EscapeTheRace still outlasts all the other axes out there. so what do you call those axes then?
or an old billnäs collared axe. that will outlast any swedish or an american tool out there
@@Leksuttaja149 there are thousands and thousands of american made and swedish made axe heads that are 100 plus years old and that work same as ever.
When the fiskar's toy breaks, it cannot be re-handled. And yes, their handles can break and have broken.
Fiskar's garbage quality pot metal also rolls all day long and they can't heat treat it worth their life without messing up likely dozens of units in a thousand or so.
Even a chinese-made harbor freight axe is ironically better than a fiskars, they actually hang them the correct way and they're still cheaper.
@@escapetherace1943 the edge hols up well when you are doing normal tasks. and if you accidentally hit something ya shouldnt you can get the edge back in 5 minutes. also when you have went through 5 wood handles and the fiskars breaks, well you can just warranty yourself a new one.
interesting
Not wait I was expecting, but good info. Thanks for the videos!
How could you not enjoy this video....love the wrap-up ending.
Apparently word got out. 2020 06's price: $47 , so almost double while the other is still 'only' $159
"Better suited for a child" **Comes home to your entire house destroyed and your child injured
Well, if you taught them how to properly use an axe they wouldn't be injured.
@@thomasdahlgren1985
Or if they were just smart
Always so informative
Thanks Cody! Very informative :)
I'm not sure the fresh P would agree with you!
I just got my first hachet today
Thanks for another great video.
Own both, great review!
To help out with any vibration in the Fiskars, get a can of insulating foam sealant and fill the hollow handle. The foam helps dampen vibrations.
My initial reaction was, yeah right, typical TH-cam comment...But yeah, I bet it would! That is a terrific idea! I almost want to buy one just to try that.
My hatchet is the bigger version of the cheaper axe and it came with a sheath. Sure, not very nice but it works
another great video. thanks Cody.
Great unbiased review! I love your videos Wranglerstar!
Click bait title "DESTROYING A GRANFORS BRUK HAND AXE!!!"
"We have one *small* chip" **The chip is much larger than the chip in the Fiskars**
Because the Fiskars is too soft to chip. You cannot have both. The soft one is better to cut wood across grain, but Fiskars is just a lump of steel, no proper form to take advantage.
@@VasileIuga every single Fiskars I've seen had chips in it. They definitely are not soft. Probably softer than some steels, but they're hard steel anyways.
I CANNOT STOP WATCHING THESE
Great job well done.
I'm with you here.
Fiskars for lugging around in your car to use and abuse. Maybe not the best quality tool but it'll get the job done for a decent price. I'd use it for light work like camping at ready made camp sites, daytrip fishing/hiking and such.
Gränsfors i'd pick for situations when you really need to trust your tool, survival situations, if you use it for a living or if you just love to use excellent quality handtools.
For myself i'm using an heirloom Wetterlings axe, about the same size as your small forest axe.
My granddad gave it to me when i was 10 years old and big enough to wield it. I carelessly abused it badly in my early years as i didn't know better, finally the edge was completely shot and the handle had came lose. I didn't know how repair it and had no one to ask since my granddad had died years before, so it got abandoned for 20+ years.
I would like you to know that thanks to your videos it is now properly restored, razor sharp and hung with a handle handpicked at the factory that once made the axe. Without them this axe would still sit in that shed, slowly fading away.
I hope this little story brighten your day and give something back to you.
"Swedish steel" is no joke, I do photography for multiple car dealerships and I see the dent repair guy at multiple stores, I asked him how much he would charge to pull a fairly easy looking dent on my car, he asked what kind of vehicle it was; when I told him it was a Saab he said no way. I asked why not and he told me that he's broken his tools trying to fix Saabs in the past.
That was fun and interesting. Quality in craftsmanship rises above all else
Thank u, very good n informative video!
obviously I'd still prefer the Grand Forest Brooks
william Jarman I guess you’d obviously like to spend 5x on a worse hatchet
Its obvious that he favors his own older axe over fiskar's LoL
Excellent, bias-free evaluation. Thanks!
Steve
Thanks for your honesty and opinion in this comparison review.
We had two small Fiskars in our car for small campfire dutys. They both came with sheath, they are now 7 and 6 years old and are still Perfect.
The Gransfors Bruk hatchet would be even more heirloom quality if you had paid $400 for it. Imagine how much more warm inside you'd feel had you paid so much more for it.
very ineresting. Enjoyed video. thanks
just stay true to your self and dont wory it all works out! just keep doing what you love!
I have both Fiskars and Gransfors Bruks axes and hatchets. They're all great and I use them synonymously. End of subject.
My wife told me I'm getting the $25 one. LOL
another great video Cody. thank you
Classic Wranglerstar! Love it :)
Gerber comes with a cover. Mine did.
A very interesting video. Many thanks & greetings from Africa.
I never thought I'd ever hear someone quote James May, especially about his "Fizz" sensation.
Keep making these great videos. They're oddly relaxing after a hard days work.
Great content, good title. Welcome back Mr. W. Too bad i can thumb up only once :)
And that's that he didn't drop the $150.00 axe all the way like the fiskar's
13:17
God :-O God watches TH-cam?! Who woulda thunk it...
Great job Cody. You give me the fizz.
As always, a great video.
did I see a small chip in the granforks on the first aluminum drop
I saw it, clear as day
It’s not soft like cheap steel
Chipping just means its harder and will keep its edge better while cutting wood they are not designed for metal
